Lee Everett and young Clementine endured all sorts of horrors during their time in the zombie apocalypse, but it's all worth it, if only for one award: the title of Game of the Year during Spike's 2012 Video Game Awards.

Telltale's "The Walking Dead" adaptation took the top prize at the VGAs this year, beating out the likes of powerhouses like "Assassin's Creed III" and "Mass Effect 3." It took home three other prizes as well: Best Adapted Video Game, Best Performance by a Human Female (Melissa Hutchison as Clementine) and Best Downloadable Game. Still haven't played the "Walking Dead" game? Perhaps all of those accolades are enough to push you over the edge.
